Birds for sale, Kabul street scene

Snapshot from Kabul, Afghanistan Oct '03

Kabul was an extraordinary city to visit, especially given it's recent rule from the Taliban, and now just rebuilding and opening up to tourism again (okay, in a very small way).
I have more photos on my Kabul and Jalalabad page, of course.

Beautiful tomb in Uch Sharif, Pakistan

Unfortunately, this tomb was damaged 150 years ago in a flood. Still, it's gorgeous; what a striking image!

An image I'll always remember!

 Michael, you've got some of the most fascinating pages I've come across on VT & that probably has something to do w/ the places you choose to explore! You've been to many places I wish to experience one day! Happy travels!
